• An element could be set to Auto Launch which automatically overalys the element when the page is first loaded. Auto launch can be limited to Once Per Session Only
  
• Element's View State can optionally be preserved throughout the session. If the element is launched and user leaves the page to later return to it, the element will be auto launched to preserve the view. This is an ideal option for eModule elements but can be used with all element types.
  
• Each element can have its own Call Tag which can be used to create unique URL for the element that will directly launch the element.
  
• Each element can have Tags to identify the content; much like online sites such as YouTube.com and Digg.com. Clicking on a tag will link the user to other related elements.
• Group Name can be specified on each element which "Groups or Combines" the elements with same name. Keyboard navigation as well as navigation bar provides access to grouped elements. By default, all elements are grouped under a same name. User can specify a different group name for related elements to create sub gallery's within a module.
  
• Includes 3 Custom Data fields for greater flexibility and control.
  
• Outline Style and CSS Wrapper Class can be specified on any element for customized styling.

In past versions prior to version 1.8.1:

The module had a phone home attribute that sent product usage reports. This caused some slow loading issues.

This has now been corrected in version 1.8.1. In addition the following improvements have been made to the latest version:

• Product Usage Statistics are no longer collected.
   
• If a visitor doesn't have flash installed then an updated message will be shown which includes a link to Adobe's Website to download latest flash player.
   
• Fixes SlideShow Module (Install v1.8.1 of SlideShow) for DNN 5.x users
   
• Changed Auto Launch Algorithm for better 3rd party modules/components compatibility.

• No plugins like Flash or Java required.
  
• Popup blockers are no problem. The content expands within the active browser window.
  
• Single click. After opening an element (image, video, text/html, module, and/or external content), user can scroll further down on the page or leave the page without closing the overlay. User can also open multiple elements without closing other elements; great for comparison between two images or product comparison.

Live Content supports the following 7 elements:

• ePicture
• eVideo
• eAudio
• eFlash
• eContent
• eModule
• eFrame

Show multiple element types within same module to create rich, interactive, and user friendly Web 2.0 presentations.
